Hygrozyme is quite cheep here compared to others. Rhizo is a root booster where as Hygrozyme is used like canna zym/ omega zym to keep the roots healthy and to break down the old unused roots. These Zym products are usually types of friendly bacteria, with a shelf life canna zym is best when its fresh. Hygrozyme could be different as it has a totally different smell strong and yeasty vs. sea weed/ organic smelling. I should have light proofed the white plastic on the gutters better... but i'm not worried about algae. The hygrozyme protects the roots, and the reservoir is completely 100% blacked out. Chances are the moving water through the piping won't develop algae, if it does -- 1. killed in the dark reservoir 2. hygrozyme. if you use in hydro, you need good oxygen levels for it to work good. Hygrozyme won't do a thang in a stale rez, it needs oxygen to work. Plants usually wont do a thang with a stale rez either ;) Hygrozyme is fantastic preventative maintenance for lots of potential root problems. In other words, it works best when you use it from beginning to end. I have seen plants that were on the brink of death from severe root rot, bounce back completely with hygrozyme. I wish I had pics to share, but the roots were almost completely rotten...90% would be my guess. With my hands I ripped off the majority of the slimey mess that used to be roots and left the plants with hygrozyme and mild nutes. 3 weeks later there wasn't a sign of rot anywere, and the plants were growing aggressively as if nothing happened. Bottom line...it works. i have used hyDrozyme next to hyGrozyme... and really, it's more than worth the extra $15 a bottle. the hyDrozyme was doin a pathetic job at takin care of dead material, and couldn't be used with sm-90 and other things. hyGrozyme on the other hand cleaned things up in a flash and the stems and crotches exploded! Hygrozyme may help with root rot but being an enzyme it has many benefits. Personally I think the best thing is to use hygrozyme and hydroguard together. For a better education on bacteria google Bacillus you be amazed what it is used for. My successful formula included GH 3Part, hygrozyme, and green fuse root stimulator. i used hygrozyme in my last hydro grow and it worked like a charm i heard all the hype, so i asked the owner of my local grow shop about it. he has a hydro and a soil setup, there in the shop, which he done a test in, using hygrozime. he grows everything from brocli to small cacti. under all the same growing conditions, except...he feeds 1/2 of all the diff plants with hygrozime, and half without. all the herbs and vegies and shit he uses the hgzm on, is short and bushy, green as can be, looks great. and the other half he doesnt use it on are all streched out and spindly, and just kinda average. there is a big differance that you can see within a short time period, so i had to buy some. i havnt gottin all the way through flower yet, but i will say that my plants are healthy as can be, and i have deffinately noticed a big differance in height this grow. all my plants stayed very short and compact, with very short distance between nodes. there was hardly any stretch at all, even so far in flower, they havnt hardly stretched at all, just buds getting bigger. so thats prolly the biggest diff i noticed so far. and im sure ill keep using it I also use some stuff like Hygrozyme and on the bottle it says that its safe to use it in conjunction with h202 at low dosage so the proper way to use it is to first add your h202 to your water let it sit and dilute then you add your hygrozyme, No slime buildup or nothing everything stays clean you can see the benefit of the h202 in the plants and i guess the hygrozyme is working lol. hey i see you are havin problems with the bubblers. a product called hygrozyme will help alot. it doesn't take much of it and i did it in bubblers side by side and noticed a big difference. IIRC, SIPCO's Hygrozyme is to be used with "low levels" of H2O2 only, or something along those lines. And IIRC, Grotek's Hydrozyme is a copy of SIPCO's Hygrozyme. They've gotten Hygrozyme with every watering since sprouting. Great stuff. hygrozyme is really good keeps those roots real white some hygrozyme will save ya if you act fast Even in a healthy rootzone there is a natural cycle that the roots will go through. They will shed old tissue just like we do, just like snakes do, etc...Hygrozyme will eat this up before it can turn anerobic and bad. If so....please forgive and excuse the redundancy....One of the things that sets Hygrozyme apart from the others is that is has NO BACTERIA... Thus....Hygrozyme can be used in conjunction with H2o2, SM-90, & Zone (or like products) Hygrozyme is great but has a different job than the bacteria. The Hygrozyme helps kill off unusable root growth while the bacteria has a direct effect on the health of the roots. Same area different jobs but take advantage of both products and bada bing. I have been using hygrozyme for a while now with excellent results (this is my first hydro run), so I'll stick with that.  Also never hurt to add hygrozyme. The plants in both the general tubs(up to 12 in one) and in the buckets all were extremely happy. 1tsp Sipco Hygrozyme(the best stuff on earth) Tha boys at Hygrozyme found a way, through years of research [9+ years], to remove tha bacteria in tha liquid before bottling. Other enzymatic products are contaminated by tha leftover bacteria from tha fermentation process and can get shitty real fast and lose its power/effeciency. Hygrozyme in Canada is sold under tha label "Grozyme". I'm addicted to tha stuff and will continue utilizing it in my program.I have no idea what they're using. Their bottle displays some kind'a "secret recipe" type phrases and shit, so I really do not know specifically what type of bacteria was used for extraction in tha Hygrozyme. These guys took it to a totally new level as they extracted what they needed from tha living bacteria and found a way to bottle it. 10 years later they're OMRI certified and everyone, I mean everyone praises it and has nothing but good reports. So I just HAD to grab me some and I've never been happier in my garden.Beneficial bacteria, sometimes reffered to as "Rhizobacteria". Some need air/oxygen and some do not and those are called Anaerobic, which break down dead organic matter. Earlier when I said that some active/living bacteria can become shitty and lose its effeciency is when your environment outside of your medium culture is shitty and variable [shitty room enviro], well these bacteria still cannot be 'killed', but rather they go into docile mode and sometimes transform itself to adapt to these changes. It's crazy, I didn't do biology, either and you don't have to be a major in this in order to understand. If only these damn labels on these enzymatic products listed further ingredients, information regarding, etc.. Like I said Hygrozyme pretty much has says "Secret Formula" or something whack like that. hehehe I don't care, as long as it keeps breaking down dead matter/roots and help create a nice culture in my medium - I'm gravy. Get this... Those bacteria I was talkin' that help break down dead organic matter, etc. Have a coupl'a requirements - good ammount of oxygen and a pH between 6.0-7.5!! That's soil teritory there, I assume that's why there's liquid enzymatic products out there for soilless & hydro users especially/specifically, but they do not tell you jack squat regarding their product most of tha time. Some things must be kept sacred...I guess.  Remember Mycorrhizal fungi? Not only does tha Mycorrhizae help tha plant, but tha also helps keep tha fungi around. The fungi gets all tha carbs it can get outta' tha roots and sticks around for a little while more, while tha roots are recieving copious ammounts of moisture and nitrogen. You can purchase some at tha growstore and beging creating a killer "STRESS AILING" culture in your medium for your girls and dudes, too! hehe Can't leave them out. I'm just pointing out tha most common-known benfecials tidbits here now. I'm still learning and constantly looking up beneficials/fungi and all that jazz. Everythings based on these thing's communication with one another inside our mediums, it's friggin nuts. I was reading a report from some cat @ Harvard and it was OUSTANDING, full of info - tried to find a link for you but I reiterated as well as I could here for ya's. I must'a read tha damn thing over and over all day tha other day. I surely am down for any futher conversation in tha benficials forum. Jah knows we prolly got one somewhere around here. |
